If you are thinking about permanent makeup, think Cheryl Rosenblum

Not everyone wakes up every morning with perfect eyebrows. Some have lost them due to advanced age, disease (such as alopecia), chemotherapy or a genetic disorder. Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. Another popular use of permanent makeup techniques is to disguise scars and white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo or scars left by hair transplantation. It is also used to restore or enhance the breast's areola, such as after breast surgery.

My experience with permanent makeup has spanned 27 years and a variety of techniques, tattoo machines, inks, artists, mistakes, misshapen eyebrows, and eyebrow color that turned gray just to name a few. I discovered Cheryl Rosenblum and Permanent Makeup of Atlanta about ten years ago when I was looking for someone to correct eyebrows that had been badly shaped as well as having the ink turn gray. When I think permanent makeup, I think Cheryl Rosenblum.

Cheryl has had extensive training in this art. Cheryl has trained with John Hashey, one of the leading instructors of Permanent Cosmetics. John Hashey was a certified instructor with the American Society of Micro pigmentation

Recently a television crew interviewed Cheryl for an upcoming program on permanent makeup. The show will not air until May. Look for the date to appear in a future article.

If you want to wake up looking great or go swimming and have your makeup not run off or cry at a wedding and not have to worry about your makeup, contact Cheryl. Imagine running 5 miles, sweating, wiping your face and still looking great because your makeup didn't wipe off on the towel, too. Does it hurt? No. A numbing cream is applied to the area and you feel tiny scratches. Cheryl uses the hand method which is much more precise, hurts less and gives her more control when creating a perfect line/eyebrow.
